Rochester Bod and Gun Club. 



Rochester, N. Y.. March 17.— Inclosed find scores made at our regu- 

 lar shoots held on Wednesday and Saturday of this week, also scores 

 of challenges shot on Saturday, the 10th inst. 



These shoots are held every other week, creating great enthusiasm, 

 and the contesting or rather "challenging for certificate" part of it 

 has given rise to a friendly rivalry. The challenges for the "bit of 

 pasteboard" are pouring in on the secretary at a great rate, so there 

 is plenty of fun ahead. The "certificate handicap" having just been 

 commenced, there are a number of would-be certificate winners who 

 as yet have not been able to secure a card, who are heard cussing 

 their luck and saying "just wait till I get a certificate." The scheme 

 thus far has certainly proved the most successful plan yet devised to 

 bring the members out, and after each shoot he has something to 

 show for the good work done. 



The alternate week is filled in with another handicap for a Parker 

 gun, but the handicap is too severe and the shooting too hard for the 

 average shot, so they do not participate, but since the certificate 

 handicap started they come out on these dates to shoot off challenges 

 and fill in with a string on the gun handicap. 



The club has just purchased a parcel of land and will at once erect 

 a fine club house. The new grounds are admirably adapted for rifle 

 shooting, and it is is expected a 200yds. range will be put in, so in the 

 future tnis sport will take a prominent place in the club doings.

Morfey Again Defeats Wright. 



The second of a series of live bird matches between T. W. Morfey 

 and T. C Wright of Paterson, took place at Willard's Park on Wednes 

 day, March 15, in the presence of a fair number of spectators. The 

 wind blew directly in the faces of the shooters. This caused a num- 

 ber of the birds to change their course and trend inward. J. H. Out- 

 water was referee, Wni. Dutcher scorer and G. W. Hill trap puller. 

 The birds were a fairly good lot on their own merits, and with the 

 strong wind to help them, a great number developed into "hummers." 

 The conditions of the match'were 50 live birds each, 30yds. rise, 50yds. 

 boundary, otherwise Hurlingham rules, for $50 a side, Morfey to con- 

 cede Wright 5 dead birds. 



Morfey went first, to the score, shooting at 5 birds before retiring, 

 and of these he lost 2, giving W right a lead of 2 to this point. From 

 here of course they shot alternately. Wright had a streak of misfor- 

 tune on his 12th round, when he got an incomer, hit it full with both 

 barrels, but had to groan as the wind carried it 6in. beyond the 

 boundary wire. His 42d bird was hard hit, but tough, and. managed to 

 set to the grand stand, where it was picked up dead by an urchin. His 

 45th carried a double allowance of No. 7 trap over the picket fence. 



Morfey caught a Tartar on his 13th round; he hit it hard with both 

 charges, but it failed to stop until just over the right rear boundary, 

 when it fell stone dead. His 37th, a fast right-quarterer, was also hit 

 very hard, but this also managed to get over the wire before it gave 

 up the ghost. 



Considering the weather, it was hard shooting, as once on the wing 

 the birds flew very fast. Then again, the powder smoke blowing back 

 made it difficult to use an effective and quick second. The scores 

 follow in detail:

The following is the score of a match shot at Willard's Park on 

 March 6, between T. W. Morfey and C. F, Lenone, 15 live birds each, 

 old Long Island rules, for 525 a side. The first seven rounds were shot 

 at 25yds. rise, after which both went back to 38yds. The birds were a 

 poor lot throughout:

Here's a System. 



In a chat with Mr. John Parker at the dog show in Detroit the con- 

 versation took a turn trapshootingward. Said he, "Why shoot but 

 one barrel? Why shoot at known angles? Why not shoot at unknown 

 angles, unknown traps and use both barrels, so that the sport will 

 conform to the conditions of field shooting? Again, why should the 

 contestants shoot against each other? That is what causes dropping 

 for place and other abuses. Why not arrange the contests so that 

 the contestants will shoot against the management ? That is, a shooter 

 can only win a fixed amount for breaking a certain number of birds. 

 For instance, each shooter who breaks 10 in a 10 bird event gets $10 or 

 $5 or any other sum fixed upon. The 9-bird men each get a fixed 

 amount. The 8-bird men get a fixed amount. There can then be no 

 dropping for place. There can be no pooling to the injury of the 

 other contestants. This system will be tried at the shoot next Tues- 

 day, Rusch House, Grosse Point, under Jake Cline's management. By 

 the way, there will be effected the permanent organization of the De- 

 troit Gun Glub. B. Watuw.

Bad Weather for the Climax. 



On March 14, the only day up to that date, when March gave us a 

 genuine March, wind, the members of the Climax Gun Club, of Plain- 

 field, N. J., assembled on their grounds at Brenner's Grove, Fan- 

 wood, to hold their monthly handicap shoot at targets. The wind 

 blew with almost cyclonic force all the afternoon. The men shot in 

 strings of 10 target's each before retiring, so that a man was likely to 

 get a much stronger blow on some strings than on others. There 

 were sixteen on hand to try their luck, a fine showing for the day. 

 With good weather this olub will turn out from thirty to forty 

 shooters. The scores in the club shoot, with the number of targets 

 allowed each man, are here shown:

THE CliUB MEDAIj shoot. 

 On March 10 occurred the regular club shoot for the gold and silver 

 medals, and again the members were blessed with good weather as 

 well as a good lot of birds and a good attendance. C. Ferguson drew 

 a fast lot of oirds but he was in killing form and made a full score for 

 the medal, killing 23 straight during the afternoon. The veteran 

 "Uncle Jim" Voorhees was also in great fettle and brought down his 

 10 straight as did D. Deacon. The scores:
